Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Securing dinghy ashore
Just as an extra tiny obstacle in the path of the bad guys, I always take the kill switch clip with me when I leave the dinghy at the dock. Somebody could always tow it away, but it's all about

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Intermittent A/C Seawater Pump
We replaced the expensiveItalian Calpeda pump installed by Amel with this: https://www.coastalclimatecontrol.com/index.php/product-catalog/product/260-march-1500-gph-115-230v.html.It works much better

Yes, but I am not aware of an electronic copy of earlier models.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: winter liveaboard?
Those are good ideas. I used to have one of those Eva-Dry units and they are indeed a joke. I had it for the summer though, not the winter. It tends to be very dry here once the temperature goes

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Securing dinghy ashore
Hi Pat,
The biggest chain you are willing to lug around is your best bet. Also, I'd recommend 25' in order you give you more options not some of the very crowded Caribbean dinghy docks.

For two people living permanently on am SM2K, we find in cool climates you need the following to avoid damage from condensation arising from high humidity.
1. Always run the kitchen exhaust fan while

Re: Intermittent A/C Seawater Pump
Hi Bill,
It does feel like a mechanical problem, but the resistance is momentary and minimal. It spins very freely.
I've just checked for repeatability as follows...
Turn pump with screwdriver, turn

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Securing dinghy ashore
Good morning Pat,
My solution is probably extreme.
Last year I purchased small length of 3/8 chain and 1/2 chains to secure dinghy and bicycles.
Then I realized the eyes on the dinghy to secure it

Re: Intermittent A/C Seawater Pump
If it is at all difficult to turn by hand, that sounds like bad bearings. It's not electrical. The most likely problem is a leaking seal at the back end of the pump has rusted the front bearings on

Hello Ryan,
I converted all bulbs on hull № 350 to LED in 2013. I faced the same problem as you have.
For my overhead lights, the two-pin socket which comes from the Amel factory aligning
